Pour 10 oz of water into a bowl with 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir until dissolved.

Sprinkle yeast on top of the water and let it activate for 3 to 10 minutes.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the bowl.

Add 1 cup of organic whole wheat flour and 2 cups of organic non-bleached bread flour to the bowl.

Use a Danish dough whisk to mix the ingredients until combined.

Flour a surface and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it is tacky but not sticky.

Form the dough into a ball and coat it lightly with olive oil.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450°F with a pizza stone inside.

Pinch off pieces of dough to form about 6 pita breads.

Roll each piece into a flat disc about 1/4 inch thick.

Place the rolled dough onto the preheated pizza stone and bake for 4 minutes.
